8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. A bit of confusion about the name - is it inferring that this new 'style' is supposed to be brutal on the ol' flavour buds?

This beer appears a murky, pale apricot yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent dripping paint job pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of slightly dank pine resin, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a faint earthy yeastiness, grainy and crackery cereal malt, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes well, dry - natch.

Overall - this comes across as a prototypical version of the style, nice and crisp and desert-like. Yes, 'desert', not 'dessert'. Good thing that I have a treasure trove of candy for the snotty neighborhood kids tonight, of which I will certainly be taking my tithe.
